The food was delicious. Nothing was particularly out of the ordinary--it felt like a fairly classic breakfast--but everything was fresh and well prepared. My only regret was not saving enough room for dessert! The interior is cozy and inviting. If you make a reservation ahead of time, they typically seat you by the window, in a nice cozy booth.

Another classic coffee shop in Vienna. I sat just feet from where Freud used to sit. Imagine that!…read more This place is more formal than a lot of other places. Still, I had the classic Vienna coffee with a Wiener Apfelstrudel. How much more classic is that? ;) It seemed like it's changed a bit with the outdoor seating and change of ownership over the years but it felt like where I sat that things felt much like they may have decades ago. And that was just fine with me!

Loved the decor, made me feel like we were transported back in time. Our waiter came, dressed in his formal clothing despite the heat outside, and took our order. For me, an espresso, for my wife, a chocolate cake and water. My coffee was delivered on a neat little tray with a glass of water to go along with it. The waiter then pretty much left us alone as we took our time eating and drinking. Pricewise, the cafe seemed similar to other coffee shops we had visited during our trip. So why not more stars? Largely because the food being offered isn't vegan friendly. Maybe that is due to tradition, fine I understand that if that's the case, but I've heard that there are other traditional cafes in Vienna that do have vegan options. Just give me one. That's all I'm asking.

They have a range of Austrian coffees: melange, brauner, einspänner, franziskanner, etc. as well as a few typical cakes (topfentorte, sachertorte, apfel strudel). The menu also has some lunch items like schnitzel. We ordered two einspänners and some cake. The sacher was much lighter than usual, I usually find it so rich and dense, but not this one. The topfen strudel was a bit dry. The dining room is old world and charming. You definitely feel like you're getting the old Viennese coffee house experience. Overall not too pricey, and they requested a tip. Not sure this is the best place for kaffee & kuchen, but it was good to experience as visitors to Vienna.

A peaceful cafe to take a break after walking around some fairly frenetic Hofburg Palace museums…read morefilled with crowds. Located within the Dorotheum auction house, it was a pleasant experience to explore the three floors of holdings and view some of the pieces available for retail purchase. The cafe is a little hidden considering it's not explicitly advertised outside, you have to go upstairs to the second floor and follow the signs. There's two sections of seating; one part is on an open upper balcony level that overlooks some antique furniture available for purchase, this is mostly for light desserts. The main seating is within a specific restaurant corner of the building, and seats about 40-50 people, mostly at tables of 2 or 4. Atmosphere feels kinda like you're eating in a museum or library, there were conversations going on though they felt a bit muted by the formality of the auction house setting. There's a coffee bar and ordering counter where you can place orders to go, you can also sit and eat in for a full service experience. Will mention this is certainly a cafe meaning the menu is comprised of mostly coffee and tea drinks, desserts and snacks, maybe a single page of items that could be considered a light lunch. My friend and I originally ordered cold drinks an iced latte €5.20? and a bottled green smoothie €5.90, and then got a piece of Gugelhupf (marble bundt cake) €3.10 and Topfenkugel (cheese strudel) $4.60. Drinks were pretty standard, the cakes were pretty decent--moist, not too sweet, the cheese strudel was fluffy and not too dense, though servings are on the smaller side. Service team members were nice though I think a little on the slower side in terms of checking in on how we were doing, it took a while to get the check. I'd stop by again!

But here's the pro tip: if you're mainly coming for the dessert, skip the restaurant line and head straight to the bar area. There was absolutely no wait, and I was seated immediately. You can enjoy your Sacher-Torte with a cup of tea, and they even offer a small selection of meals, although I'm not sure if it's the full restaurant menu. Their Sacher tea blend was delicious but I wasn't impressed by the torte. Service was excellent, and I never felt rushed. In fact, I got to sit comfortably by the window and watch everyone else standing in the long line outside. Definitely the way to go if you just want to experience the famous Sacher-Torte without the wait!
